Just because there’s no major theatrical release this week doesn’t mean that there aren’t any quality releases. The Skeptic and Home Movie in particular feature big-name talent (the former Tim Daly and Zoe Saldana and the latter Adrian Pasdar), good production value and solid entertainment value — which is more than you can say about many movies released in theaters. Check out all of the new horror/suspense releases for the week.

Slowly but surely we’re getting little peeks at what the new Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley) will look like in the upcoming remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. So far, he looks…dark and shadowy. Check out the pics before the movie hits theaters on April 30, 2010.

The Sundance Film Festival announced its 2010 lineup this week, including its annual Park City at Midnight showcase of horror, suspense and all things that don’t fall under the artsy-fartsy umbrella of the rest of the fest. The horror/suspense outings this time around sound very promising — including Ryan Reynolds’ intriguing Buried (pictured), in which the star is essentially the only person in the film, trapped in a box for 90 minutes or so. We’ll see if he gets out alive when the Sundance Film Festival runs January 21-31, 2010.

It should come as no surprise that Transylmania is an awful movie. It’s called Transylmania, for goodness’ sake. That sort of witty wordplay should be an indication of the level of humor involved with this Dorm Daze sequel. Read about it in my review of Transylmania.

Those of you who can’t get enough of the Twilight movies might end up getting more than you thought: that is, five movies instead of four. Author Stephenie Meyer has long stated that she thinks that the story in Breaking Dawn, the fourth (and so far, final) book in the series is so long that it’s hard to imagine it being adapted into a single movie, and it appears that Summit Entertainment is starting to agree with her. (And really, the Twilight films are the studio’s meal ticket right now, so any extra cash it can squeeze out of them will go a long way to keeping it afloat until it can find the next big thing.)

Of all genres, horror movies have the most consistently off-the-wall content, and because of this, the wording in the MPAA ratings explanations (that fine print you see in the R or PG-13 rating box detailing why a movie was designated as such) for these films can be quite interesting. Here’s a list of 20 such intriguing ratings; can you guess which movie each one belongs to?
